KEY FACTORS IN EFFECTIVE ONLINE DELIVERY 

 

EFFECTIVENESS 

 

According to Webster and Hackley (1997) student performance, measured (marks) by faculty, 



represents a key aspect of teaching effectiveness. Several studies have shown that there is little or no 

difference in student performance between educational television and face-to-face instruction [Wetzel et 

al., 1994] or between video instruction and face-to-face instruction [Storck and Sproull, 1995]. Webster 

and Hackley (1997) further suggested that effectiveness encompasses: student involvement and 

participation, cognitive engagement, technology self-efficacy (i.e., belief that one is capable of interacting 

with a given technology), perceived usefulness of the technology employed, and the relative advantage or 

disadvantage of online delivery. 

According to studies conducted by Dillon and Gunawardena (1995) and Leidner and Jarvenpaa 

(1993), three main variables affect the effectiveness of online delivery: 

1. technology 

2.  instructor characteristics and 

3. student 

characteristics. 

 

TECHNOLOGY 

 

The reliability, quality and medium richness are key technological aspects of effectiveness (Sanders 



Lopez and Nagelhout, 1995). In particular, the network that is set up should allow for both synchronous 

and asynchronous exchange; students should have convenient access (e.g., through a remote access) 

and the network should require minimal time for document exchange. The quality of the interface also 

plays a crucial role [Trevitt, 1995]. The literature concerning interface design for online delivery ranges 

from the highly artistic [e.g., Laurel, 1990] to the highly technical [e.g., Blattner and Dannenberg, 1992]. 

Reeves and Harmon (1993) presented a synthesis of these two tendencies. They identified the following 

user interface dimensions as being important: ease of use, navigation, cognitive load, mapping, screen 

design, information presentation, aesthetics, and overall functionality. 

The perceived richness of the technology also influences the effectiveness of online delivery. Daft 

and Lengel [1986] posit that a medium richness allows for both synchronous and asynchronous 

communication and supports a variety of didactical elements (e.g., text, graphics, audio and video 

messages). A central part of the medium richness relates to interactivity. McIntyre and Wolff [1998, p. 

257] noted that: “One of the powers of interactivity in a Web environment is the capability to engage by 

providing rapid, compelling interaction and feedback to students.” Engagement is also enhanced by

 International Journal of Case Method Research & Application (2005) XVII, 2 

problem-based presentation of educational material. An engaged student is a motivated student 

[Neorman and Spohrer, 1996].
